When your songwriting credits include Excision, Zeds Dead, and NGHTMRE, you could easily rest on your laurels. But ASH HALO – the Canadian duo of Sara and Dave – isn’t here for easy. Their self-released single “Vice Versa,” crafted with fellow northerner Save Yourself, is a genre-blending love letter to electronic music’s endless possibilities.

The dead don’t just walk – they absolutely demolish everything in their path. Zomboy’s “Dead Man Walking Pt. 2” EP isn’t just a follow-up; it’s a five-track nuclear assault that proves the UK bass architect hasn’t lost an ounce of that face-melting energy that gave us “Terror Squad” and “Like A Bitch.” Opening with “Fallout” (aptly named for the destruction it’s about to cause), Zomboy reminds us why he went from drumming in metal bands to becoming dubstep royalty. The EDDIE collab “D.E.A.D.” hi

But wait – they’ve also enlisted Detroit royalty DJ Minx for remix duties. Fresh off c

Darby’s ‘PARTY’ EP arrives like a glitter bomb in a therapy session – a four-track exploration of what happens when club euphoria crashes into late-night existential crisis.
